Give thanks, oh brother, said the voice
That he who sent the rains .
Has spared the fields the scarlet dew
That drips from patriot veins.
I've seen the grass on eastern graves
In brighter verdure rise,
But oh the rain that gave it life
Sprang first from human eyes.
Wednesday's Daily.
i each of the cases of T. J. Field vs
toe O. R. & N. Co., B. A. Osgood vs.
Isaac Dunn et si, and 0. F. Showalter,
administrator, vs. W. E. Winans et al,
the sheriff was ordered to make oat
deeds. .
And still another of Oregon's soldiers
is dead. George Ernest Scgar, of Port
land, died at the presido in San Fran-
- cisco of pneumonia on November 20th.
He was 23 years old and well known in
- Portland.
Wheelbarrows are about as difficult
articles to keep as' umbrellas ; they are
eternally taking wings and flying away.
About ten daysago someone borrowed(?)
one from Mr. Brooks' residence, and be
says tbey wonld confer a great favor if
they wonld allow it to return.
Yesterday a pair of glasses was picked
up in front of The Chronicle office. The
owner can have them by calling at this
office. The parse containing $2.60, which
was found on the streets recently, is still
temptingly near as, waiting for its owner
to call, prove property and get the same.
". 'A runaway, which came nearer being
s walkaway occurred this afternoon,
when two horses attached to a heavy
freight wagon decided to . leave their
station at Bach's store for s broader
field. They ran up iVaehington "and
down Fourth street to the stable, when
they were stepped and brought back to
be taught s little horse sense. ' j
Two and three cents more a pound is
being paid for turkeys this year than,
was charged laet year. This increaee
bas been caused from tbe extended de
mand and stationary supply. A very
large number have been shipped away,
and then the coyotes seem to have come
to the conclusion that they, too, have a
right to enjoy a good dinner once In s
' while, and therefore have bad a band
in the scarcity question.
Yesterday beinjr, the 14th birtbdayof
Bertha Robinson, a number of her friends
were invited to epend tbe evening with
her at tbe borne of Miss Nora Turner.
Tbe party was a complete surprise to
her, which made it all the more enjoy
able. Refreshments were not overlooked,
but formed a prominent part of the pro
gram. The following .boys -and girls
were present:"- Abbie Taylor, Lucy Fox,
Lucy Omeg, Minnie. Hill, Lulu. Hill,
Anna Davenport, Delwyn' Allaway, Boy
Hill, Leslie Clark, Loyd Eabineon.'

PEASE & MAYS,
Antelope to attend the educational meet
ing there. They will take their Thanks
giving dinner at Sheiar's and somehow
we imagine tbey expect to eat more than
one of Buch dinners this year. Food for
the mind is as excellent thing; bat
"civilized man cannot live without
cooks." However, the aforesaid meet
ing is to be one of unusual interest as
tbe four county superintendents will be
present to take part in tbe program, and
wb'en fifteen teachers afe so interested
as to come all tbe way from the Prine
ville country, surely the meeting is
worth attending.
It may not be generally knownbat
newspaper people have a few reasons for
being thankful as well as common peo
ple. Have we not more pt to eat than
most people? more turkeys, brought in'
on subscriptions, to gobble than anyone?
more forms to Ml 7 more sauce to get
away with? more spring poultry to di
gest? ' In short, have we not s (tood ex
cuse for taking tj, rest, as well as giving
other people one? We regret very mucn
that it will be impossible for us to take
dinner with our many readers; but any
who mav think they cannot pass the
day without The Chronicle, may send
for the various members of the force.
Anyway we hope you will all "enjoy
yourselves." -
And now comes Portland to the front
and in a short time has collected $107.40
for tbe Canyon City sufferers, beside
articles of clothing, etc. The 0. R. &
N. Co., has kindly offered to deliver all
supplies contributed, and the Telegram
is to see that they are forwarded from
Baker City. Dalles people certainly
cannot give thanks in tbe right spirit
tomorrow, when at our very door are
those of -whom tbe great Giver of all
good said, "Inasmuch as ye have done
it until the least of these ye have done
it unto me." Tbe residents of our city
are only waiting to .be called upon to
contribute. Let someone who is well
acquainted with tbe people of Canyon
City and understands best the manner
in which to supply their wants, appoint
himself a committee of one to start tbe
ball rolling.

And still the attention of the court is
directed to the caee of Mrs. M. J. Mosier
vs. the O. R. & N. Co.
A marriage license was today granted
to William F.. Magill and Amelia M.
Crofoot, both of this county. '
Mr. Hoyle, who has been confined to
his home for tbe past few weeks, we
are informed is improving, and . wilt be
able to resume work in a short time,
ThbTChboniclr office has now on hand
a supply cf blanks tor making' applica

The marshal this morning' arrested s
hobo and placed hin in jail until he
could make up his mind that in this
world it is every man for himself, and
cometo the'concluaion that he'd use his
muscle as a little more by means of pro
caring livelihood.
Captain White, who was one of tk
unfortunate victims of tjie Baldwin fire
in San Francisco, was an old-lime friend
of J. H. Cradlebaugb, he having spent
many years working side by side with
him in the mines of Nevada.

picks and shovels, and soon the new
pipes will be laid to tbe reservoir. Be
fore we are aware, the work on the new
mains will be completed and we'll have
.water, water everywhere in abundance.
Yesterday George Smith, a 13-year-
old boy, who lives about seven miles
west of town, succeeded not only in cut
ting off the bead of a goose, but the top
of hia left thumb. So serious was the
injury .to the member that Dr. Hollister
was called, when the wound was dressed
and it is thought he will not lose the
use of the thumb. .
Tbe news of the suspected complicity
of Edward Warren in the burning of
Canyon City created a sensation in Mc
Minuville. He is a son of ex-Sheriff W.
L. Warren, of that city, and comes from
a highly respected pioneer family. He
was raised in Yamhill county. Much
sympathy is felt for his parents who are
among the best people.
- Our old ferry boat, which has been
undergoing repairs for some time since,
looks like a different craft now in its
made-over clothes, and yesterday after
noon was launched onto tbe bosom of
her old friend, tbe Columbia. ' Today
tbe boiler will be placed on her, and
when completed she will be taken down
tbe river to run between Lyle snd
Rowena. She will be run by Wm. Gil
liam, who is an old steamboat man.
What came near beins a destructive
fire occurred at the residence of J. H.
Wilburn, abjoining the Calvary Baptist
church, Wednesday evening. Tbe chil
dren, in playing, . upset a lamp, which
broke and caused tbe oil to spread pro
misciouely over tbe floor and then ignite.
The carpet was soon all ablaze. and one
side of the room began burning. Two
gentlemen who were passing rushed in
and assisted in extinguishing the flames
before too great a headway was gained.
In spite of tbe fact that many who were
anxious to see the foot ball game yester
day were a little more anxious to finish
their dinner, and therefore did not at
tend, there was a large crowd at the
grounds and enthusiasm ran- high.
Somehow the picked team was decidedly
picked" and the score stood 21 to noth
ing in favor of the High school boys.
It seemed to be an off day for those who
were not well schooled, but they bore
their defeat bravely and ceased kicking
when the game was over. ." .-'
Much has been said and beard regard
ing the Wasco county fruit exhibit at
the Oregon- Industrial Exposition In
Portland, and visitors w ho attended
from this county returned prond that
they lived in such a section of country.
We were awarded first premium, and
this morning the Commercial Club re
ceived a beautiful gold medal about the
size of a $20 gold piece and a diploma
of very neat design. 'The latter will be
bung in the club rooms. The exhibit
was made under the supervision of tbe
club and tbe direct management of Mr.
E. Schanno,' whose untiring efforts,
coupled with thoee of a few other fruit
growers, have gotten us the victory.
Billy Daly, who was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary, and whom
The Chronicle spoke of as being very
penitent, seems to Lave been a "dope"
fiend ever since he was a mere boy, and
was the cause of his crime. . Tbe . Tele
gram Bays : "During bis residence in
Portland he was a perrennial eource of
trouble to the police because of his ab
normal appetite for deleterious drugs.
Several years ago when taken before the
Dolica magistrate for the nn nf mnmhino
he was one of the most ghostly living
sights human ever beheld. He was both
a physical and mental wreck. He was
sent to the asylum and emerged from
there the picture of health;, but soon
took hold of the deadly habit again and
left Portland." Tbe best place for him
would be in an institute where, if pos
sible, be could be cured of tbe habit.
THE MAIN QUESTION.
Work Be Ins; Pushed Rapidly -.
the Mains Will Be. .
Where
: Work on the new water mains is pro
gressing very rapidly, two thousand feet
of ditch having been opened up during
the past three days. ' About' thirty
workmen are employed and they are
certainly doing their best, as tbe ground,
being very rocky, is extremely hard tq
get a nick through.
Tbe new mains are to be 4a follows :
On Union from tbe reservoir for- a dis
tance of 2400 feet will be a 12-inch pipe ;
and from there down to Second a 10
inch. OuvFoarth street from Union to
Jefferson, down Jefferson to Third, and
east on Third to Taylor, 8-inch
On
Federal, Jefferson and Taylor, also on
Second between Union,and Court, a 6
inch. Beside on Garrison Btreet will
be placed a 4-inch main, and on Third,
between Jefferson and Langhlin, 250
feet of 4-inch
When the . work is accomplished
Dalles people will feel a security from
nre wmcn it nas never before been pos
sible to realize. We will then have a
pressnreot about ninety pounds to be
used in case of fire, and besides the
thirty-two plugs which are now distrib
uted over our city, the following will be
added: On Union, corners of Eleventh,
Ninth Eighth, Fifth, Third, and Sec
ond streets. On Fourth, .corners of
Washington, Federal, Laugblin, and
Jefferson.' . Corners of Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, and Taylor, on Third.
.. For general and family use a pressure
of sixty-five pounds will be secured, and
those who have previously complained
of the scarcity of water for irrigating
purposes will now have to search for
other cause for complaint.
This water move is a good one, and
will be greatly appreciated by our resi
dents.
After visiting the section where the
men were at work this 'morning and in
terviewiug Contractor Frye in regard to
the men employed, we feel positive that
we were misinformed as to outsiders be'
ing given preference. - The contractors
assure us that every effort bas been
made to employ citizens of The Dalles
and vicinity, and although many of their
faces are not familiar, yet they are men
who have applied for work here. .
THANKSGIVING DAY.
A Beautiful Day and Well Observed In
.. The Dalles.
Yesterday was one which was condu
cive to thanksgiving, and as such was
generally observed by Dalles people.
Services - were held by most of the
churches, and .. family gatherings were
the order of the day throughout the city,
when around hearthstones and at well-
laden tables were assembled the old, the
middle-aged and the children to enjoy
tbe genial atmosphere and fellowship of
tbe day set apart for a re-counting of all
the mercies and blessings of the past
year and to make plans for tbe future.
Best of all, the poor werenot forgotten,
and by way of teaching tbe children that
it is more blessed to give than to receive,
the superintendents of the junior socie
ties of some of our churches met with a
committee of little ones to receive and
distribute gifts to those whom we have
always with us." '. Each child came
with some gift, however small, and they
were afterward given to the deserving
poor.
Iu the morning services were held . in
the Episcopal and Lutheran churches,
and the contriontion at each was for
charitable purposes, at tbe former for
the Good Samaritan hospital in Portland.
Last evening the Congregational and
Methodist churches united in s Thanks
giving service at the uongregauonai
church.' A large audience was present
and the singing was particularly beauti
ful and appropriate. Rev. Wood delivered
eeimon from the text "Bless the Lord,
my soul, and all that is within me,
bless his holy name. Bless the Lord,
O my soul, and forget not all his bene
fits ;" adding s text from the New Testa
ment, "In everything giye thanks." He
recalled a few of the many reasons that
the people of the United States have for
thanksgiving, -mentioning particularly
its success in the recent conflict; also
saying that not only as a nation but as
individuals, have we numberless reasons
for gratitude. The speaker : was very
earnest in bis remarks, and claimed the
divided attention of his audience
throughout.
A collection was taken at the close of
the meeting to be distributed by a com
mittee from each church to those whom
ttiev might consider the most needy.
A Farewell Party. - . -"..
A farewell surprise party was given
last night in honor of Mr. and Airs. I. J.
orman, who leavo soon to make their
borne in Rosebnrg, Oregon. ' It was a
very enjoyable affair and the guests
showed their; appreciation of Mr. and
Mrs. Norman by presenting them with
anumoer of elegant . presents. Those
present were as follows : - Eld.' W. V.
Bolt and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Krauas.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Hill, Mr. and Mrs.
R. J. Akin, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Garmer,
MesdamoB B. Murch, J. E. Andrew?,
D: J. Lemieon, C. E. Dufur, A. School
ing, M. James, B. Burger, MH. Brown,
L. Ulncb.E. L. Hughes, G, A. Albright,
E. Johnston, Smiley, Hoering, T. E. Mc
Pberson, S. Francisco. L. E. Chrisman,
L. Lemison, Wm. Basett, Miss Scott,
Arthur Murch, W. A. Sinilev, Lewis
Johnston, A. Hoering, Ed Davenport,
Jennie Akin. " ,
A bountiful lunch was served and
every guest departed with s regret that
they were to part with such friend9 as
Mr. and Mrs. Norman and with a hope
that they would find in Roseburg good
friends and be pleased with their new
home. -
The Catholic Bazaar.
The bazaar given by the Catholic
ladles was a success far.beyond their ex
pectations. Both evenings the hall was
well filled by audiences who seemed to
have come with the express purpose of
assisting the ladies in their good work.
Tbe programs were very good, the in-
I strumental music being first-class and
the negro sketches by Hampshire and
Clarke, as was expected, the . drawing
card of both evenings. The boys seem,
if possible, to improve each time they
appear, and the question now is, is there
an impersonation they cannot do to the
queen's taste or as good as any profes
sionals? Miss DeForest, whose voice has not
been heard on a Dalles stage einre the
rendition of "Pinafore," was again lis
tened to Wednesday evening, when its
sweetness delighted the - audience so
much that Ehe was compelled to answer
to an encore. - ;
Last night renewed interest was taken
in voting for the most popular young
lady and aleo the most popular man in
town. Mies Hencegan, who received
the most votes in the former contest, was
presented with a very pretty "china tea
set. Judge Bradshaw now holds bis
head high in tbe air, having carried
away the handsome rocking chair, which
was not required to prove his popularity.
A large number of those who enjoy
dancing rerhamed to spend a few hours
keeping time to the music of the orches
tra. -
The receipts, so far as can now be
ascertained, are about $550.

Wheat, Etc.
A dispatch from Portland says:
It is s difficult matter as it always hrs
been and always will be, to ascertain
just bow much above the export value
has been paid for wheat, but there are
well-authenticated reports that 61c and
over has been paid for special lots of
heavy Walla Walla wheat. No exporter
will quote these figures openly, though,'
and, with freights held as they are at
the present time, it is an impossibility for
an exporter to get the smallest fraction
of a cent over 60c for best Walla Walls.
Any figure paid above this is specula
tive, and worthless as f. quotation, for
no great amount of wheat could be sold
at that price. There bas been csn-
